We are a young design and research-oriented architectural practice based on the Baltic Island of Rügen, led by Susanne Brorson. We are exploring climatic and regional regenerative architecture through experimentation; we are interested in places, landscapes and in working with the ‘as found ’.

Susanne Brorson, born in Stralsund, Germany, received her diploma in architecture from Bauhaus-University in Weimar in 2004, with studies at the University of the Arts Berlin and Politecnico in Milan, Italy. After working in reknown architecture practices in Oslo, London, Amsterdam and Berlin, she founded her own award-winning firm STUDIO SUSANNE BRORSON on the Baltic Island of Rügen, Germany. The work of her practice is closely connected to her research on climatic and regenerative architecture in the Baltic Sea region. The ‘Eco Village Rügen’ received a German Design Award 2022 in the category ‘Excellent Architecture, Eco Design’ and BDA Preis 2024, whereas the ‘Experimental House Rügen’ was recognized with the BDA award 2021 and Callwey Award /Best Houses in 2024. Already in 2017, Susanne established the ‘Baltic Vernacular – Experimental Laboratory’ teaching format that she taught at various architecture schools, involving design research and 1:1 experimentation. Susanne has published and lectured internationally, with guest professorships at RISEBA University Riga, HafenCity University Hamburg and University degli studi RomaTRE, Italy. Her contribution ‘Seasonal Wall Dressing’ was part of the exhibition ‘+/-1 – in search of well-tempered architecture’ at the Slovenian Pavilion at the 18th Architecture Biennale in Venice 2023, and at her exhibition ‘Seasonal Spontaneousness’ was shown at Weissenhof Gallery in Stuttgart in 2024. Susanne was awarded the German Rome Prize in architecture 2023/24 at the German Academy Villa Massimo in Rome, Italy.

Susanne is a licensed architect registered with the Architects Chamber Berlin (D13876) and the Architects chamber Mecklenburg-Vorpommern (3017-20-1-a). In 2024, Susanne was appointed as member of the BDA Bund Deutscher Architekten (German Architects Union).
